Pedestrian Accident Attorney in New Orleans

If you were hit by a car, John S. Williams will fight for you

New Orleans is a bustling city filled with residents and tourists who come to experience everything this one-of-a-kind place has to offer. As a result of being such a popular destination with plenty to see and do within walking distance, there is a high volume of people who travel on foot. Unfortunately, that means the risk of getting hit by a car is greater, too.

Whether you got hit by a car in a crosswalk or you were struck by a vehicle on the sidewalk while waiting for a bus, car accidents involving pedestrians can result in serious and sometimes fatal injuries. While you may think the process of recovering compensation for your damages will be straightforward and easy, the insurance company may have other plans. That’s why you need an experienced New Orleans pedestrian accident lawyer on your side.

An insurance adjuster may argue the accident was your fault and deny your claim. Even if they say you’re only partially at-fault, that can have severe and lasting consequences. That’s because under the state’s comparative fault law, any damages that you’re able to recover will be reduced by the same percentage of negligence attributed to you for the accident.

One of the best ways to protect your rights and get the compensation you deserve is with representation from an experienced pedestrian accident attorney. If you were hit by a car or you were injured in some other type of crash, such as a bicycle accident, call The Law Offices of John S. Williams, LLC right away. Attorney John S. Williams has experience successfully handling complex cases and can help you get the compensation you’re entitled to.

What are common causes of pedestrian accidents?

Every year, thousands of people are injured while many others are killed in fatal accidents. Knowing what to do if you get hit by a car can help, but when the dust settles you may run into problems dealing with the insurance company.

Cases involving pedestrian accidents can quickly turn into a heated legal battle between you and the driver who hit you. Without the right evidence, you may find it difficult proving you weren’t at least partially to blame for your accident.

They may even say you’re responsible for the damage caused to the driver’s vehicle.

Whether it’s by way of a negotiated settlement or via a favorable court verdict, John will aggressively advocate for your best interests and fight to get you maximum compensation for your damages.
